Fall is coming soon and this is one of my favorite pies to make in the Fall. Tart dried apricots and dried cranberries are a perfect pair in this fruity pie.

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 8" pie shell, baked
16 oz dried apricots, roughly chopped
3/4 c sugar
2 1/2 c water + 3 tablespoons
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/3 c dried cranberries
1/4-1/2 tsp almond extract
1 c flour
1/3 c brown sugar, packed
1/3 c margarine, cold
cinnamon, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, over medium high heat, combine the apricots, sugar and 2 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 35-40 minutes, stirring frequently, until apricots are tender (yet chewy) and are just starting to fall apart. Combine the cornstarch and remaining 3 tablespoons of water and stir into apricot mixture. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until thickened. At this point, add more water, if needed, to reach desired consistency. Remove from heat and stir in cranberries and extract. Cool.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar and margarine with a pastry blender until pea-size crumbs form. Set aside.
  • 3. When filling is cooled, transfer to pie shell and sprinkle crumbs evenly over top. Garnish with cinnamon if desired. Cover exposed pie crust with foil to prevent burning.
  • 4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until filling is hot and bubbly and crumbs just start to brown.

This pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pie turned out really dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The crust was good and the filling was well-made.
